[Windows 7] PR stopped working

robbie3211 · 2009-12-26, 15:41

Hi
When I used XP i could play PR and vbf2 without any issues, but now I've got Windows 7 installed and I installed the games and patches in the right order but when I play vbf2 I can go on a server but punkbuster kicks me (handshaking failed or something) and when i try to play PR it just says: 'Pr stopped working'

Can anyone plz give me some advice on what to do, I'd really like to play PR again.
Thank you

EDIT* It appears to work now, I just started vbf2 singleplayer and played for like 5 minutes, then I quit and tried to start PR, and it started... so now I can join a server but punkbuster kicks me for 'Service Communication Failure' , but I'll search for info on the forums on this problem...

2nd EDIT: now I've got it working completely, just run it as administrator and it works...

I just realised I made a useless thread, I kinda fixed my problem myself
